Since it is evident that the labor vote will
return to the Democrats next year, the Re
publicans have discovered that the George
movement was very small affair, anyhow
A good deal of significance is to be attached
Press: IF it is true, as Henry George
asserts, that somebody has been misrepre-
senting his political party, it should teach
him not to leave his party lying around
loose. 1t isn't so big but that he could carry
it with him in his trousers pocket" This
is not the way the Press talked a little while
ago, and it is not the way the New York
Tribune talked.

The latest phase of ex-senator jones' I'M
fortunate case is that he has been requested
to leave by to-day the home of Detective
O'Neil, where he was SAID to have been
taken to keep him from the hotel corridors,
and that his continued refusal to do any
thing TO aid himself has exhausted the
patience Of his friends. 1t seems difficult to
get at the true status of Senator Jones' case,
but in its best light it is a deplorable one.

Don Piatt, who used to be prominent in
Washington newspaper circles, Is not over
powered with the responsibilities of his gov

thought that at least 100 Congressman were

The lately appointed Postmaster General,
Mr.. Dickinson, is not only terror to people
who don't want to pay their debts, but he is
also a terror to Republicans who have
already held office quite long enough under
Democratic administration. The New
York Tribune is authority for the
assertion that under his administra-
ton the offensive partisan" who is Re-
publican, will stand much better chance
of being kicked out than the offensive
partisan" who is a Democrat Mr.. Dickin-
son has some qualities that fit him for a
Democratic Postmaster General.

There is danger in the green postage
stamp. A woman who was employed in the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing died
day or two ago in Washington from the
effects of poison in the ink used in printing
greenbacks. The green ink used in printing
greenbacks is the same as the ink used in
printing the cent green postage stamp.

The right to write him such letter. and eN-

while Mr.. keedy has discussed Comptroller
Turner's Policy from the standpoint of consti-
tutional prohibition, lie has dealt with it IN its
practical operation. Tie Mayor claims that
the Comptl oller was given by the Legislature
full authority for the steps he has taken regard
ing the sinking funds, and says that his posi-
ton is endorsed by the leading financers of

Of over 100000 per annum. BY the adoption
of the policy which Mr.. keedy aments there
has been an annual saving Of $4,000 year

Mr.. Beecher Dead.

The great New England divine died at
All early hour on Tuesday morning. The
evening before, his eriefstricken and
aged wife had written to his Borrowing
congregat ion: Beloved ones, pray that
his departure may be speedy" She knew
then that his struggle with death was
unavailing, and the sooner the end came,
the bett er. DR.. Searle, his family ply
stefan, in giving a summary of the case
tor the press after referring to the uniyer-
sally healthy structure Of the patient in
most respects, thus speaks Of him : But
with steady and un suspected steps hid
den foe was creeping upon him-one that
finally and fatally sprung upon him from
its ambush and all 9th er perfection of
organism was of no avail to save him
from its deadly grasp. The bottom fact,
as our lam ented friend in his original
English would say-the fundamental
cause of apoplexy-is well known to be
such change in the nutrition Of the coats
Of the cerebral blood vessels as to alter
their ella stieity and toughness and render
them brittle and fragile
Mr. Beecher's chief claim to great
ness was in his originality lie captiva-
ted his hearers by the novelty and force
Of his oratory; and his pointed and home
ly expressions came forth from the gigan-
tic mental laboratory, clothed with an in
nate charm that made them to be heard
and remembered.
The Plymouth congregation unhesita,
tingly accepted his standard of faith"
as their own. and through good report
and evil report, in success and in sorrow
he was always their beloved pastor. their
trusted friend.
Although he leaves nothing to perpet-
uate his name and keep green his memo
ry as pre- eminent American, his repu-
tation is worldwide and his massive in
tellect is admired wherever mental SUI
periority is appreciated.

The Future of Southern Maryland.
NJ arch llth. 1887
Friday Morning

1t is getting very evident that atten-
ton is rapidly concentrating upon South
ern Maryland as field offering rare and
abundant resources that will in the near
future be highly developed For years
our people have been struggling against
fearful odds Capital has been limited,
the lands have been depreciating in val
ne, the market prices Of produce have
been uncertain and gradually tending
downward Furthermore, so MANY, we'd
ded to the ways of their forefathers, have
pursued the same system that prevailed
under the old regime, oblivious ap-
parently to the changed condition of
things, and of the new activities and the
new demands of the age. Concentrated
farming, if such it may be called, has not
been pursued. The ambition seems to
be to cultivate the largest number Of
acres possible, without considering wheth-
er the results are duly commensurate with
the outlay. Many led by this delusion
have gone on form bad to worse Crops
are hurried upon the market, often in
improper eopditiou, in order that money
may be raised to meet pressing demands
This. certainly, has helped to depreciate
the value of Maryland tobacco. Conse-
quently as people became poorer, payment
of taxes was neglected; County debts ac-
eumulated; immigration halted natural
resources were left unheeded, and labor
sought better remuneration in other quar-
tiers. But, fortunately, the tide seems to
be turning The upper portion of this
County is already bristling with activity
Farms are being subdivided and occupied
by thrifty population. Life and vim,
prosperity and happiness can be seen on
all sides The taxable basis will rapidly
increase in Southern Maryland as soon as
the lands are more highly cultivated, the
possibilities of our climate and soil for
fruit growing are more fully realized, en-
ersetic and practical steps ale taken to
induce persons with capital to settle
among us, and a more general interest is
manifested in public affairs and in the
public welfare by those most directly and
most yitally concerned

went wild over tie story, and down town in

was so startling and 50 unexpected that con-
servative Baltimore was actually stunned by

almost levery tinancier and business man in

1t is estimated that the wages lost To work
ingmen by the late strike in New York city
exceeds three million dollars, while the loss
thereby TO other Interests amount to four mil
lion dollarS--a total Of over seven million dol
lars. Strikes are an expensive luxury. Aside
from the loss in wages already suffered by
workingmen, a very large number have lost
their places, and will have to seek other sitla-
tons. Strikes cut deeply around, and should
not be lightly engaged in.
